The Seriki Hausawa of Ibadanland, Alhaji Ahmad Dahiru Zungeru, has urged the President-elect, Gen. Muhamadu Buhari, to keep political sycophants and religious leaders at arm’s length, if he hopes to succeed in office.
Addressing journalists in his Sabo Palace, Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, Zungeru said with Buhari’s experience and maturity, he would have the wisdom to lead the country in a positive direction.
While urging Buhari not to let down Nigerians, the Arewa leader further tasked the president-elect to ensure the transformation of the nation into an egalitarian society where everyone is equal and catered for.
He also called on Gen. Buhari to extend his hands of fellowship to his opponents and should also engage the services of technocrats to assist him in delivering on his campaign promises.
Zungeru, who commended Nigerians for their peaceful conduct during the elections, also admonished the Hausa community in the state to be law abiding and ensure free, fair and credible election in next week’s governorship and house of assembly elections in the state.
